The Mothers’ Union Safeguarding Policy and Procedure for Britain is now on our website. After much discussion, the Policy has been signed off and ready to use.
We all agree there is nothing more important than ensuring the wellbeing of the children, families and adults with whom we work. Keeping ourselves safe is also of major importance, and the aim of the Policy and Procedure is to provide a framework and guidance to enable a safe and secure working environment where everyone can thrive and benefit from our programmes and activities.
We work with some of the most vulnerable children and adults in Britain. It is therefore of the utmost importance that there is continuity across Mothers’ Union in our approach to safeguarding. This can only happen if everyone plays their part, by reading, understanding and adhering to the Safeguarding Policy and Procedure.
Core Safeguarding Training for all members is now being rolled out. AFIA Safeguarding training is also available for all those who are involved.
If you have any questions or safeguarding concerns, please contact Deena Patel (Safeguarding and Procedures Lead for Britain and Ireland).
